# Crankani

Crankani is a game for the [Playdate](https://play.date/) handheld console. It is a shoot-em-up inspired by Galaga, Gradius, and most of all, Ikaruga.

In it, you control a space crab (or perhaps a crab-like spacecraft. You decide!) and must dodge bullets, fire bullets of your own, and defend yourself with a potent but limited phase shifting ability. Good luck!


### Building

To build this code, install the [Playdate SDK](https://play.date/dev/) and run `make`. Update `PLAYDATE_SDK_PATH` in the Makefile if you have installed the SDK somewhere other than `~/playdate`.

`make` should produce a directory called `Crankani.pdx`. You can open this in the Playdate Simulator and sideload it onto your Playdate from there.

The Makefile is designed to be run under Linux and is untested on other platforms.
